Integration
Connect Bitly and Twilio
When New Bitlink in Group fires in Bitly, your agent runs Schedule Message in Twilio, or New Incoming Call in Twilio to Update a User in Bitly. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.
Build solutions, not workarounds.

Connect your AI client
Give your AI client this address.
https://mcp.apiant.aiOne connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser.

Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Codex and the ChatGPT desktop app
Open Settings, then MCP servers, then Add server, and choose Streamable HTTP. From the terminal, Codex takes the address with its own add command and then signs you in.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Any other MCP client
Paste the address where the client asks for a remote MCP server URL, and name the server apiant-ai where it lets you. APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Twilio carries the texts and calls; Bitly holds the short links people actually click. Joining them means a long URL that arrives by SMS can be shortened, tagged and sent back as a Twilio reply, and a new Bitlink in a Bitly group can turn into a scheduled text without anyone copying links by hand. The agent builds the whole flow and tests every scenario.

Questions
Bitly and Twilio, answered
Can a text message sent to my Twilio number create a Bitlink automatically?
Yes. The New Message Received trigger in Twilio can feed Create Bitlink or Shorten a Link in Bitly, and you can set a condition so only messages containing a long URL are shortened. The resulting short link can go back out as a Twilio message.
Can I use Bitly click data to decide who gets a text?
The Bitly actions here read link details such as Retrieve Bitlink, Expand Bitlink and Get Top Links and QR Codes by Engagement, and those results can be used before a Twilio Schedule Message or Update Message step. There is no trigger that fires on an individual click.
What can start an automation from Bitly?
Any of Bitly's 8 triggers in the catalog, including New Bitlink in Group, New Branded Short Domain, New Channel and New Group. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Twilio when something happens in Bitly?
Any of Twilio's 11 actions, including Find available phone numbers by criteria, Schedule Message, Update Message and Update Phone Number. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Twilio to Bitly?
Yes. When something happens in Twilio, your agent can act in Bitly too. This page covers both directions: Twilio's triggers and Bitly's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Bitly or Twilio?
No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running.
Can my AI client use Bitly and Twilio without building an automation?
Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both.
What happens when something fails?
Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
